Shrimp Feed Market Size, Growth Rate And Key Forecast Highlights For 2026–2030
The shrimp feed market size has experienced significant expansion over recent years. Forecasts indicate it will expand from $4.79 billion in 2025 to $5.1 billion in 2026, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. This historical growth can be linked to factors including the expansion of shrimp aquaculture farming, rising global shrimp consumption, the availability of commercial feed formulations, the increase in export-oriented shrimp farming, and the adoption of formulated aquafeeds.
The shrimp feed market size is projected to experience significant growth in the coming years. It is anticipated to expand to $6.36 billion by 2030, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. This growth during the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in feed digestibility technologies, an increasing focus on sustainable aquaculture practices, the expansion of intensive shrimp farming systems, a rising demand for antibiotic-free feeds, and improvements in feed processing techniques. Major trends expected in this period include the development of nutrient-enriched shrimp feed, a growing reliance on plant-based feed ingredients, wider adoption of species-specific feed formulations, the increased use of functional feed additives, and an enhanced emphasis on feed conversion efficiency.

Shrimp Feed Market Expansion: The Major Factor Driving Growth
The rising demand for seafood is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the shrimp feed market. Seafood refers to any edible aquatic animal or plant harvested from freshwater or saltwater environments for human consumption. This growing appetite for seafood stems from factors such as health consciousness, cultural preferences, convenience, sustainability concerns, and globalization. The utilization of high-quality shrimp feed supports the sustainable development of shrimp aquaculture, helping to fulfill the escalating global requirement for seafood while minimizing environmental impact and preserving the health of aquatic ecosystems. For instance, in June 2024, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, a US-based government agency, reported that global fisheries and aquaculture production in 2022 soared to 223.2 million tonnes. Aquatic animal production is expected to climb by 10 percent to reach 205 million tonnes by 2032. Moreover, SOFIA projects that apparent consumption will increase by 12 percent, supplying an average of 21.3 kg per capita in 2032. Thus, the increasing demand for seafood is propelling the growth of the shrimp feed market.

Key Shrimp Feed Market Trends To Watch In 2026
Leading companies within the shrimp feed market are concentrating on creating innovative solutions, such as functional shrimp feed, to improve feed efficiency and promote sustainability. Functional shrimp feed refers to specialized diets formulated to not only meet the fundamental nutritional requirements of shrimp but also to enhance their overall health, promote growth, and increase their resistance to diseases. These diets frequently incorporate additional ingredients that deliver specific benefits beyond standard nutrition. As an illustration, in May 2024, Skretting, an aquafeed production company based in Norway, launched Armis, a functional feed designed for shrimp. This new feed is formulated to bolster the resilience of shrimp encountering difficult conditions and to supply optimal nutrition to secure farm performance. It was developed specifically to address the requirements of shrimp farmers in India. The new feed aims to counteract problems caused by parasites like Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) and other prevalent shrimp farming diseases.
